A Scandinavian Pew and a Primitive Cupboard

Remember that town-wide sale from last month in which we had only two hours to shop? We picked up a few other things that day that I forgot to show you!

Like this colorful granny square afghan.

And this giant blue and white lidded crock, with spout.

At one point, we split up and I came home to find Mr. VJIMT pulling this huge Scandinavian-designed church pew out of his not-so-huge SUV.

Pretty good yard sale find, huh?

But this was by far my favorite treasure of the day. No, it's not just a vintage glass doorknob and escutcheon. Although I do like them.

Not just a primitive architecture element, although that would be cool too.

Or a sectioned- and glass-paned door. Always a good thing.

Imagine putting all those things together (which Mr. VJIMT literally had to do once we got it home, as the door had no hinges), plus a bookcase form with a wainscotted back. 

It would look something like this: an amazing handmade primitive bookcase with glass door cupboard thing! 

We keep putting it in the Clover pile and then taking it back out!

It's staying here for a while.

The cupboard thing is worth keeping for a while. So many uses and such a cool piece. I would say with everything else you found in those two hours the two of you did very well. Love the pew!!

I saw that cabinet on IG yesterday. I do not blame you one bit for wanting to keep it! It is just so unique.

That pew is amazing too. I was just telling Brian that I want to find one to put on our front porch.

Have an awesome weekend!

Love the hodge podge piece too. It really came together well. I would probably end up keeping it....
